Summer!

Hi Everyone,

A huge thanks to everyone who made it up to the Beijing for The All China Games; what a weekend! I’m sure many livers are still in recovery. And although Seoul won the men’s and Beijing the women’s, our teams put up a huge fight and everyone played excellently. A special mention to MC who won an All Star and rightly so!

It’s a sad month also. We are losing four players who make up a huge part of our club; MC, Tom, Ling and Fergus. We’re sad to see them go but we wish them all the best in the future!
